Bone Grafting of the Bone Defects after Harvesting the Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Graft - A Novel Surgical Technique.

Bone grafting of the defects in the patella and tibia has been shown to decrease anterior knee pain. Our technique is cost-effective as there is no requirement for special instrumentation like coring reamers, and no requirement for allograft or bone substitutes. Second, there is no morbidity associated with autografts harvested from elsewhere, we used the bone generated during the ACLR itself.
